He was born Oct. 25, 1926, in Antwerp, Belgium. Frank is survived by his beloved wife, of 55 years, Elinor Leemans; three daughters, Jewel, Eve and Jacqueline; two sons, Michael and Frankie; brother, Joseph; and nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Frank was just a young boy when his family immigrated to the United States. At age 18, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served during World War II. After serving his country, he returned home to dedicate his life to public service, first working for the fire department and then moving on to the police department in Oakland, N.J. In 1960, Frank and Elinor left New Jersey and moved to Las Vegas, where he joined the Sheriff's Department. Frank retired as a sergeant from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department after 22 years of service. In 1991, Frank and Elly moved to Pahrump, where he continued to serve his community by volunteering for the Nye County Sheriff's Office, where his duties included transporting prisoners, serving summons and acting as bailiff in the Justice Court. Frank's passion for reading led him and Elly to join the Friends of the Library organization to help promote literacy. Leisure time was spent hosting intense family poker games, participating in fierce cribbage matches and daubing the days away at the local Bingo hall. Memorial services will be at 10 a.m. Monday, Sept. 28, at Palm Mortuary, 7600 S. Eastern Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89123 Additional Comments: The information provided for publication was provided by an outside source and is not proven to be correct File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/nv/clark/obits/leemans2518gob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/nvfiles/ File size: 2.3 Kb
